So powerful. Wow 15:00-26:00.
Great insights and inspirational philosophy. I learned much today Thank you both.
I've been binge-listening to your episodes, and I have to say, this is my favorite podcast! The content is fantastic. I’d love to see David Lichtenstein or Roy Carroll as future guests-both would bring such valuable insights!
Thank you and so glad to hear you're getting value! We'll do some research on David and Roy, thank you for the recommendations!
Loved his story telling!
Great interview and development Information regarding city and state. Huffine is a humble man 🚀
I would fail kindergarten
Wow! Andy was Fantastic! Great job Chris. Your interviewing skills are outstanding.
At the risk of violating 22, but in the spirit of 8, 4 seems grammatically incorrect to me. Is it by design?
Good catch. In the true spirit of #4 (Be a fanatic about response time), the typo has been resolved! No violation of #22 (Don’t be a jerk). You’re just adhering to #2 (Practice A+ness)!
Powerful episode.very insightful. Nice 1
Are most of the indoor mall tenants even desirable to consumers anymore?
It depends. Many malls with sales above $500 per square foot are strong and getting stronger. Malls with sales of $300 per square foot and below are sometimes challenging on the interiors.

Hi Andy , Take a look at colonial park mall in Harrisburg PA. Going to auction soon, I believe it’s on Ten-X.
Thanks, we will check it out!
no
Been following you for Twitter in years. Cool seeing you pop up for a CEO I searched
Amazing interview
Chris, great job as usual getting him to talk about his journey. He obviously thought you’d be firing off business-related questions but the personal and historical side of these high achievers are a big reason why I tune in.
Hey Mike, Jeff here. The guy that gave you your first million dollar month. Out of sandy,Utah. The guy the blended it! You and jack fry asked how and asked what I want. I said money. You fired me!?!?!? I’ll name pointless employees at vortex in sandy,Utah. #1shawn yoshita. #2patrick Christensen #scott Peterson. Worthless company to work for in Utah. Unless you are involved in or open to Mormonism. Me myself had to work by myself on Christmas Eve because these said higher ups had families. Like I didn’t. Or I’d be fired. Ultimately I quit because they “Johnathan”gave me an ultimatum to take a drug test. Which I don’t do drugs. I drink sure. But it was an ambush. Fuck this company. It’s based on nepotism and money. Scott Peterson is the only reason this company is alive. But still it’s nepotism and ridiculous
😊
Investing in energy can provide great tax benefits. Using FieldVest, you can easily find the best projects to maximize these advantages. It’s a simple way to connect with top opportunities and save on taxes.
On greenmailing: My understanding is the tax laws were changed in the late 80s. So it would be something like a huge excise tax for greenmail. also corporate governance rules likely since changed to prevent one (temporary) shareholder given preferential treatment over the others.
Loved the episode! When The Fort releases a new pod, I pause everything and anything I'm doing and turn it on!
Amazing content, thanks!
Another unbelievably informational episode.
10/10!!
Thanks for another awesome episode! Obviously plenty to be said about living through the GFC. Probably a mix of hindsight and some obvious opportunities back then, given so many distressed assets and most people simply not having idle cash.
So much to learn here
one of the smartest RE guys in the country
Just wanted to thank you Chris and a huge thanks to Barry...such a great interview. Invaluable perspective and so many great lessons. My father Leo Heile was SVP of ITT and a brilliant guy (physics major/quant) running $25B for ITT (heard some funny Rand stories)...and before he passed in '02 I asked him if there was any advice he wanted to pass on to the grandkids and he thought for a few minutes (long time for him) and replied 'Yes...always challenge your assumptions, because you're usually wrong. And if you get enough smart people in a room and you all think that way you'll probably arrive at the best solution". Same wisdom Barry is sharing from a lifetime of hits and misses. Such a great perspective, and kudos to him for sharing it so openly and honestly. I hope he writes that book...and ends up in a position to influence public policy at some point. His take on American politics is spot on and his ability to distill the basics of fiscal policy down to a almost a kindergarten level (which is necessary today) is a true gift. Stacking a cabinet with a critical mass of experienced and successful businesses people from various mission critical sectors of the private sector (not just Wall Street) is the only hope we have for righting the ship. That and solving the problem of the corrupting influence of money in politics...haha. Hope to God we eventually get to vote for an independent candidate willing to do both, and Barry is a part of that team.
Chris - the loud swallow sounds on your podcasts get me every time lol
Hey Chris, I just wanted to comment on how well of a interviewer you are. I was just impressed at how matter of fact & well you transitioned each section with well asked questions or topics. Interviewers can be very vague or boundary-less with their questions and it lead to the interviewees sometimes not always answering the question in a particular thought realm. Thank you so much for phrasing good questions, so I could learn more about Jamie’s ideas!
Great show Chris, 🙌 i like that guy he has great insight. How would i get in contact with him?
Shortage or housing is the biggest problem in Ireland yet they are importing poor people who refuse to assimilate and they are giving those people housing. Wake up before your bloodline disappears for ever.
It is kinda boring listening to people talk about empty lots... fences, paving and lighting.
"I'm not good at taking instruction" as an entrepreneur I think we can all say that!!! lol Another great interview.
What an amazing gentleman! Knows all of his stuff and has forgot more about real estate than I will ever know. Another great interview!
Awesome
Why the name
Just listened for a 2nd time. So good
I met Don Zale in the UK when they had stores here. Such a humble marvellous gentleman I would love to speak with him again. He told me something then that was positive and influenced my life and I use it still today. Thank you Donald Zale.
amazing pod. Nancy is badass
Great episode tons of gold from a good person
inspirational video!
What a great interview! Love hearing the real stories.
Best business podcast I have ever been able to watch, thank you so much for sharing.
love the podcast and this is an interesting business model... suggestion: I would be nice if they can talk about returns... as it would be nice to know what extra premium one can earn with this approach (if any)
Thank you!
Who is the guy on the right?
I got a lot of value from this video. I’m piecing together a build to suit hotel deal (my first)
Never tuned into this podcast before but the first 30 seconds has me hooked!
All about opening doors
Very cool story.
